The summer vacation wasn't just a time for the three big idiots to have stories. Their classmates also had plenty to talk about, filling the classroom with constant chatter. Only Kamijou Touma, Tsuchimikado Motoharu, and Aogami Pierce remained slumped at their desks, still asleep and ignoring the lively atmosphere.
"Everyone, the Class Meeting is about to start! Please return to your seats quickly!"
Before long, the classroom door opened, and Komoe-sensei, her voice still youthful, entered.
"Oooh! Komoe-sensei!"
"Komoe-sensei! It's so good to see you again!"
"Komoe-sensei!"
"It's wonderful to see the cute Komoe-sensei again!"
"Komoe-sensei! I didn't do my summer homework!"
"Me neither!"
A group of students, who had been chirping and twittering among themselves, immediately perked up when they saw Komoe-sensei enter the classroom from outside the door.
If students from another class had witnessed this scene, they would undoubtedly sever all ties with this class and misunderstand them as having some strange fetish.
Komoe-sensei was both pleased and annoyed by this reaction.
"I'm happy you missed Teacher so much, but you can't talk to Teacher in that childish tone. Also, the students who just admitted they didn't do their homework, come see me in the teacher's office after class."
With that, Komoe-sensei walked up to the podium.
By the way, due to her height, there seemed to be a stool placed under the podium so her head could peek over the top.
But I couldn't say it out loud. Otherwise, this tiny Teacher would burst into tears any moment now.
"Now, before we start the Class Meeting, Teacher has an announcement to make!"
Komoe-sensei clapped her hands and flashed a pure, innocent smile at everyone.
"We're getting a transfer student joining our class! And she's a super cute girl! Aren't you excited, you smelly boys?"
Komoe-sensei's words sent the classmates into a frenzy.
"What? A cute transfer student?"
"What's she like? A foreign beauty? An alien? A subterranean dweller? I'll accept any setting! As long as she's cute, it'll be alright!"
Tsuchimikado Motoharu and Aogami Pierce shot up from their seats as if they'd been electrocuted.
Kamijou Touma seemed to have perked up as well, though he spoke with a somewhat listless tone.
"That's all well and good, but I have an ominous premonition. According to manga tropes, isn't it likely that the transfer student has already been 'conquered' by some jerk in our class?"
No sooner had Kamijou Touma finished speaking than retribution arrived.
Bang!
With a stifling sound, two fists slammed into Kamijou Touma's face.
"Ah!"
Kamijou Touma cried out in pain and fell to the ground.
Tsuchimikado Motoharu and Aogami Pierce, who had made the move, glared at Kamijou Touma and shouted in righteous indignation.
"Don't you dare say such a depressing thing that would crush someone's dreams, meow!"
"I have a feeling that if Kami-yan were to say it, this unfortunate ending would unfold like a classic shonen manga plot twist. So, before that happens, we're taking you out of the equation!"
With these shouts, Tsuchimikado Motoharu and Aogami Pierce lunged at Kamijou Touma.
"You... you bastards! I was just telling the truth! Why are you hitting me?! This is so unfair!"
As Kamijou Touma became the target of Tsuchimikado Motoharu and Aogami Pierce's joint locks, which were as intense as a world-class martial arts competition, Fang Li had a premonition.
"Could it be..."
Before Fang Li's whisper could fade, Komoe-sensei's voice rang out again.
"Alright, come on in!"
At Komoe-sensei's invitation, the classroom door swung open once more.
The entire chaotic classroom fell silent, drawing everyone's attention simultaneously to the doorway.
Shortly afterward, everyone—including Fang Li—saw her.
A girl with long, glossy black hair, her delicate features resembling a Yamato Nadeshiko, walked in from outside the door. Her charming face bore little expression, and her entire being exuded an almost ethereal sense of presence.
"Ooh..."
The male students immediately let out awestruck murmurs.
"Aah..."
Even Kami-yan, Tsuchimikado Motoharu, and Aogami Pierce, who had been wrestling, froze mid-motion.
After all, in terms of beauty, this transfer student was truly stunning.
The transfer student, seemingly oblivious to the commotion, walked to the blackboard, picked up a piece of chalk, and wrote her name.
The name on the blackboard read:
......…『Himegami Aisa』
"Please treat me well."
The girl who once possessed the ability known as Deep Blood had arrived at this school, this class, as a transfer student.
The students erupted in cheers.
Only Fang Li noticed Himegami Aisa's gaze fixed on him. She nodded slightly in his direction.
Fang Li let out a wry chuckle.
"Well, this is a pretty standard ending, isn't it?"
...
After the Class Meeting ended, students from each grade and class began to stream toward the gym.
The opening ceremony was about to begin there.
However, Fang Li and Himegami Aisa had separated from the crowd and retreated to a secluded corner of the school building.
"Thank you so much for what you did last time," Himegami Aisa said, bowing her head to Fang Li. Though her expression remained unchanged, her eyes now held a depth of emotion that hadn't been there before—a simmering anger.
Fang Li didn't refuse her gratitude. He simply shrugged and said, "So, after your Deep Blood ability disappeared, you were transferred to this school?"
"Yes," Himegami Aisa nodded, her gaze fixed on Fang Li. "Because my ability is gone, I'm now just a Level 0. My previous school expelled me, and I was transferred here."
Because Himegami Aisa was an extremely rare Gemstone, she had previously attended a highly prestigious school.
Now that she had become a Level 0, Himegami Aisa could no longer remain at that school.
Despite this, there was not a trace of regret in her heart.
"After all, I came to this Academy City to solve the Deep Blood problem," Himegami Aisa said, her clear eyes meeting Fang Li's gaze. "Now that I no longer have my ability, you don't need to worry about me affecting you."
In Himegami Aisa's mind, she might still believe Fang Li was a Vampire.
Fang Li didn't bother to correct her, simply smiling.
"In any case, here we're just classmates. Please take care of me."
"The same here. Please take care of me as well."
And so, Himegami Aisa became Fang Li's classmate.
No longer the Deep Blood she once was, she was now just an ordinary girl.
